made Of the case Of Mrs. Conrad Schafer
who disappeared from her home on
Thursday evening under circumstances
that excited grave apprehensions In he
mind Of her husband and friends. For
two or three years she had been subject
to fits Of dementia and being In deli
cate condition has, for sGme time past,
been even worse than usual. On
Wednesday she had been out in the
country visiting some friends and while
crossing the bridge, on her return

but little doubt that she had
carried out her purpose. Search was
continued until Sunday morning about
ii o'clock, when youth by the name of
Charlie Miller discovered her dead body
In q little bayou, which empties into
East Nimishillen, about 150 yards above
the South Market street extension

the mud, almost to the knees, and the
body wedged In under the roots of tree
so that the roots had to be cut away be-

into the water at Ninth street, the swift
current sweeping her body down stream
and by the action Of the back water
carried up the bayou to the point where

body taken to Sharer Bros. undertaking
